가토 일본 상원의원과의 면담내용 보고
FOR INFORMATION No.321
August 13, 1959
Your Excellcy,
Last week early on Thursday morning
I left for Mackinac Island, Michigan, to address the International Conference of the Moral Rearmament in the evening. As I reported to Your Excellency in a previous letter, there were about 1500 persons there from about 28 different countries. It is very interesting to note that there was quite a large delegation from Japan of very prominent and influential families such as Shibusawa, Senator Kato and wives of many of the Diet members, particularly of the Socialist Party, the former Mayor of Tokyo who had originally sent the cherry trees to Washington, D. C. etc.
After my talk of about 40 minutes on the Korea -Japan crisis Senator Kato and other got up and made profuse apologies and thoroughly agreed with what I had to say. In fact, Senator Kato was sending a copy of my speech to Premier Kishi. with her own convictions that the Korean residents' status should be settled withgthe Republic of Korea. The Moral Rearmament officials were also telephoning to Mr. George Eastman in Los Angeles as he was to play golf with Premier Kishi to inform him of their attitude and their convictions on the matter. The Conference printed about 1500 copies of my address for distribution among those people who were present there and also for sending to various influential people.
Afterwards, I found out that they had never had any formal address scheduled there before much as mine; it is merely a testimonial meeting. Everybody gets up and gives a testimonial that they have changed their erring ways-- in other words, it is somethings like a revival meeting.
I came away with the feeling that I have done some good in leaving the facts with them, asking them to do something about the matter rather than just mere apologies and testimonials. I feel I was quite blunt with them. Whatever the results may be at least I was able to provide them with some food for thought.
Senator Kato and other Japanese openly accused Fujiyamai for this particular action of deporting Koreans to the northern part of Korea, and they gave the reason that Fujiyama 's mistress is a Communist, and she has been the sole influence in his life and actions. In fact, they presented a play there based on Jap-anese officials's corruption, mistresses, and bribes. It was very effectively done.
The next morning I got up at four o'clock and started out for Tulsa, Oklahoma. Due to bad weather I had missed my plane when I got to Chicago. However, I was able to make connections later and I arrived in Tulsa on time. Upon my arrival there, they had set up a radio broadcast alongside the plane, so I was able to give some idea of the reasons for my being there and to inject something on the Korea -Japan crisis, particularly in relations to the deportation scheme. Immediatly afterwards I was taken to the hotel where they had set up a press conference and radio and television broadcasts. Then I had dinner in the suite and then went down to the large gathering of Christian Crusaders from all over the United States.
It was a very impressive gathering of very earnest, intelligent Christian leaders throughout the United States. I think every single one of them appreciated what I had to say.. There was tremendous standing ovation which they kept up for quite some time. I had to stand up and thank them several times before they gave up, Naturally, I was greatly honored and pleased. That particular group, I know, will do a great deal throughout the United States toward disseminating the facts of this case.
afterwards I had a private conversation with some of the speakers of the conference and other leaders in my suite until 12:00.
The next morning I set out early for
Washington. I was extremely tied and nervous, but satisfied.
Today I am speaking before the Kiwanis Club at the May flower Hotel at noon where I intend to bring up the question of Korea -Japan relations, particularly Japan's scheme of deporting out people to the northern part of Korea.
Then in the evening at 6:00 as I reported before, Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Zirkin, wonderful friends of mine, are honoring us at their lovely new home to promote membership for the Korea Society. In fact, he called me yesterday, and said he would get at least 150 members which will help a great deal. If this project is successful, they intend to repeat it in many of the other homes in and around Washington for the same purpose.
